General Discussion / Canada Day Weekend BBQ June 29...
Last post by Michael - June 10, 2025, 08:47:28 PM
We will be hosting a 'Canada Day' BBQ (hotdogs) on Sunday, June 29, about noon (even though the actual statutory holiday is Tuesday, July 1).

This is our informal Canada Day - Cub Day BBQ/funfly which we do almost every year.

This is FREE to all TEMAC members. (If the weather is intolerable on the Sunday, we'll postpone it to Tuesday, July 1, instead.)

Please respond here in this thread if you plan to attend, so we get an idea as to how much food to bring.

*****************

As always, all Transport Canada, MAAC and TEMAC flight and safety rules will be in effect.

*****************

The following are special rules and guidelines for this event only:

1. You must fly a model of a Piper Cub, finished in yellow.

2. If you don't have a yellow Cub, then any other colour Cub is OK.

3. If you don't have a Cub, then another yellow model airplane is OK.

4. If you don't have a yellow model, then any other colour model is allowed.

5. It must have Canadian decals or markings.

6. If it doesn't have Canadian decals or markings, then any other decals or markings are OK.

7. Models without decals or markings are also OK.

Sorry to hear about you loss of control of your glider.
I had a similar issue with my Seniorita when it just glided in the south field (no damage). Unsure why the radio stopped responding?!? Let me know what you find and I may trace my issue the same way.

The day was a little cool, warmed up, crosswind...just to bug us....hazy skies from the wildfires.  It made white planes really hard to see.

Eventful Day for some of us.

Photo report:
02- Mark before the successful maiden of his PoleStar.
04- Alex before the successful maiden of his Revolver 40....with a 60 of course because that is what Piker recommended.
06- Dr. DidLittle talking to Jacks, Alex's dog.  Apparently they speak the same language.  ;D
07- Michael was kind enough to retrieve my Mustang with a Power 46 on 5 cells...or was he trying to steal it?
08- Andy was kind enough to retrieve my Chica after a long landing...or was he trying to steal it?
10- Glenn in the process of assembling his 12' glider.
11- Andy was kind enough to bring my DG300 (12'span) to the flight line.... or was he trying to steal it?

Unfortunately my glider's flight went very badly.  Once I get the pieces out of the car I will try to figure out what went wrong.  It crashed in the lumber Yard behind us.  Absolutely no control.  It will be re-built.

Will download the two black boxes tonight. 
The CVR* will probably be 25 repeats of the F-bomb, two for every loop.

* CVR is one of the two black boxes.  It is the Cockpit Voice Recorder
